Geometry Wars DS and Wii Details

Vivendi Universal has officially announced that it's bringing the excellent Xbox 360 Live Arcade shooter Geometry Wars to Wii and DS this Autumn, along with a new mission mode and multiplayer.

Coming to Nintendo consoles under the guise of Geometry Wars: Galaxies, this latest instalment has plenty of exclusive features, including a campaign mode which sees you travelling between solar systems to take out the enemy ships. Alongside this new mode are new weapons, enemies and gameplay types.

Galaxies is also the first Geo Wars to feature a multiplayer, which includes a co-op mode, hot-seat battles and a traditional versus mode - which is all extremely exciting. Plus, if you buy both versions of the game you can use a Wi-Fi link between your DS and Wii to unlock new content.

Although development is being handled by UK-based Kuju Entertainment, Geometry Wars's original creator Stephen 'Cakey' Cakebread came up with the prototype Wii controls before handing the project over.

Bizarre's Ben Ward said: "We found at least 2 different methods which worked really well. We've prototyped on the DS too with similar success, so we're confident that the games will play superbly on the new platforms and will avoid the trap of adding a new control method just for the sake of it."
